From the Publisher During the week following the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, Americans gathered in unprecedented numbers to seek comfort and guidance from their religious leaders. Regardless of creed, the same questions echoed from the pews. Where can we find God amidst the rubble? How can we answer hate with greater love? Is there hope for peace or are the trumpets of Armageddon less distant than before? These were the questions ministers, priests, imams and rabbis had to address from their pulpits. Even as they spoke, the soul map of our nation was being recharted. The preachers' daunting task was to bring hope and direction to a people newly lost. Each of these sermons, by some of America's greatest preachers, is a testament of hope. Collectively, they rise to the spiritual challenge of our time. All profits from the sale of this book are being contributed to charities benefiting the victims of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Contributors: Daniel W. Murph, Alvin Jackson, Frank T. Griswold, Harold S. Kushner, Arthur Caliandro, Mohammad Gemeaha, Richard Land, C. Welton Gaddy, R. Scott Colglazier, Joanna Adams, Talib 'Abdur-Rashid, Forrest Church, William J.
